FLETCHER, NC, USA—Raflatac says the company is offering slitting and distribution of its products from a regional facility located in Greenville, WI. "As North American label converters continue to face tightening lead-time demands from their customers, Raflatac’s North American product and service strategy is to further offer faster, more reliable delivery of its high-quality products," states a Raflatac press release.

Raflatac says paper and film pressure-sensitive labelstock products, covering a wide range of applications, are now available from the regional facility. It will primarily serve the Upper Midwestern US region including the states of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Says Raflatac's sr. VP of the Americas Jouko Lähepelto, “Our target is to be a leading supplier of film and paper PS products in North America, just as we are in Europe. While we strengthen our role as a full product line supplier and a truly global player, we must also reinforce our commitment to the North American region by meeting the product and delivery demands of our customers in the region. Having a local distribution center in Wisconsin is an important step in our expansion plans for this region."
